khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
and air quality planning documents for
meeting other federal requirements.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
metropolitan planning organizations
(MPOs), state departments of
transportation, local transit agencies,
and state and local air quality agencies.
Federal agencies potentially affected by
this action include FHWA, FTA, and
EPA.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory pursuant to Clean Air Act
section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) and 40
CFR parts 51 and 93.
Estimated number of respondents:
EPA estimates that 109 MPOs will be
subject to transportation conformity
requirements during the period covered
by this ICR and that EPA Regional
Offices, the FHWA, and FTA will be
involved in interagency consultation,
and review of transportation-related
conformity determinations performed
by MPOs during this process. EPA also
estimates that similar consultation will
occur for projects in isolated rural areas.
Frequency of response: The
information collections described in this
ICR must be completed before a
transportation plan, TIP, or project
conformity determination is made. The
Clean Air Act requires conformity to be
determined for transportation plans and
TIPs every four years. Conformity
determinations on projects in
metropolitan and isolated rural areas are
required on an as-needed basis.
Total estimated burden: 35,344 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,247,525 (per
year), includes zero annualized capital
or operation and maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is a
decrease of 15,214 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to less
burden associated with decreased
conformity analyses for PM10, CO, 1997
PM2.5, and NO2 NAAQS and a decrease
in burden over the previous ICR for
reduced emissions model transition and
training burden.
Dated: November 8, 2018.

Division, Office of Transportation and Air
Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.

digital replacement translator (DRT)
stations (referred to collectively as
‘‘LPTV/translator stations’’) that were
displaced by the incentive auction and
repacking process (Special
Displacement Window). The filing
window was open from April 10, 2018,
through June 1, 2018. The Commission
received over 2,100 displacement
applications during the Special
Displacement Window.
Appendix A of document DA 18–1108
lists all displacement applications
received in the Special Displacement
Window that are mutually exclusive
with other applications. Parties with
applications in the mutually exclusive
groups listed in Appendix A may
resolve their mutual exclusivity by
unilateral engineering amendment, legal
settlement, or engineering settlement
during a settlement period beginning
today, October 30, 2018, and ending at
11:59 p.m. ET, January 10, 2019.
The applications listed in Appendix
A are subject to the Commission’s
competitive bidding procedures unless
their mutual exclusivity is resolved. The
Media Bureau will withhold further
action on the mutually exclusive
proposals listed in Appendix A pending
submission of settlement agreements or
engineering amendments to resolve
mutual exclusivity prior to the close of
the settlement period. Thereafter, the
Wireless Telecommunications and
Media Bureaus will announce an
auction date and propose auction
procedures for the remaining mutually
exclusive applications.
Unilateral Engineering Amendments.
Applicants may resolve their mutual
exclusivity by filing an engineering
amendment to their application. An
amendment that does not implicate the
application of another station may be
filed by the station during the
settlement period without coordination
with any other entity. All such
amendments must be submitted by
filing an amended FCC Form 2100—
Schedule C in the Media Bureau’s
Licensing and Management System
(LMS) by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10,
2019. Engineering amendments
submitted by applicants to unilaterally
resolve their mutual exclusivity must be
minor, as defined by the applicable
rules, and must not create new mutual
exclusivities or application conflicts.
Legal Settlements. Applicants may
also resolve their mutual exclusivity
through a legal settlement that provides
for the dismissal of one or more of the
application(s) in their mutually
exclusive group. Such agreements must
be submitted for Commission approval.
Parties submitting a legal settlement for
approval must ensure that their
VerDate Sep<11>2014

agreements comply with the provisions
of Section 311(c) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and the pertinent
requirements of Section 73.3525 of the
Commission’s rules, including, inter
alia, the settlement reimbursement
restrictions. Parties filing a request for
approval of settlement agreement must
include a copy of their agreement and:
(1) A statement outlining the reasons
why such agreement is in the public
interest; (2) a statement that each party’s
application was not filed for the
purpose of reaching or carrying out such
agreement; (3) a certification that
neither the dismissing applicant nor its
principals has received any money or
other consideration in excess of the
legitimate and prudent expenses of the
applicant; (4) a statement outlining the
exact nature and amount of any
consideration paid or promised; (5) an
itemized accounting of the expenses for
which it seeks reimbursement; and (6)
the terms of any oral agreement relating
to the dismissal or withdrawal of its
application.
Requests for approval of settlement
agreement and the above-outlined
documents required by Section 73.3525
must be submitted in the form of an
amendment to each party’s pending
application in LMS by 11:59 p.m. ET on
January 10, 2019.
Engineering Settlements. Applicants
may also enter into a settlement
agreement to resolve their mutual
exclusivity by means of an engineering
solution. As with unilateral engineering
amendments, engineering amendments
submitted in conjunction with a
settlement must be minor, as defined by
the applicable rules, and must not create
new mutual exclusivities or application
conflicts. Such settlements may include
proposing channel sharing as means to
resolve their mutual exclusivity.
Engineering settlement agreements must
also be filed with the Commission for
approval and must include the
documentation required by Section
73.3525 outlined above.
Requests for approval of engineering
settlement agreements, accompanying
documentation, and corresponding
technical amendments must be
submitted in the form of an amendment
to each party’s pending application in
LMS by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10,
2019. In the case of channel sharing
settlements, the proposed sharee station
shall file to modify its current license,
specifying the technical parameters in
the proposed host station’s
displacement application and request
that its displacement application be
dismissed upon grant of the channel
sharing.

In the case of legal and engineering
settlements, the parties should
endeavor, wherever possible, to resolve
their mutual exclusivity through minor
engineering amendments, as defined by
the applicable rules. However,
applicants that are unable to resolve
their mutual exclusivity through a
minor engineering amendment may, as
part of their legal or engineering
settlement, amend their application(s) to
propose a new available channel. The
new channel proposal may not create a
new mutual exclusivity or conflict with
any other application previously-filed in
the Special Displacement Window.

unilaterally resolve their mutual exclusivity must be minor, as defined
by the applicable rules, and must not create new mutual exclusivities
or application conflicts.
Legal Settlements. Applicants may also resolve their mutual
exclusivity through a legal settlement that provides for the dismissal
of one or more of the application(s) in their mutually exclusive group.
Such agreements must be submitted for Commission approval. Parties
submitting a legal settlement for approval must ensure that their
agreements comply with the provisions of Section 311(c) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the pertinent requirements
of Section 73.3525 of the Commission's rules, including, inter alia,

outlining the exact nature and amount of any consideration paid or
promised; (5) an itemized accounting of the expenses for which it seeks
reimbursement; and (6) the terms of any oral agreement relating to the
dismissal or withdrawal of its application.
Requests for approval of settlement agreement and the above-
outlined documents required by Section 73.3525 must be submitted in the
form of an amendment to each party's pending application in LMS by
11:59 p.m. ET on January 10, 2019.
Engineering Settlements. Applicants may also enter into a
settlement agreement to resolve their mutual exclusivity by means of an
engineering solution. As with unilateral engineering amendments,
engineering amendments submitted in conjunction with a settlement must
be minor, as defined by the applicable rules, and must not create new
mutual exclusivities or application conflicts. Such settlements may
include proposing channel sharing as means to resolve their mutual
exclusivity. Engineering settlement agreements must also be filed with
the Commission for approval and must include the documentation required
by Section 73.3525 outlined above.
Requests for approval of engineering settlement agreements,
accompanying documentation, and corresponding technical amendments must
be submitted in the form of an amendment to each party's pending
application in LMS by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10, 2019. In the case of
channel sharing settlements, the proposed sharee station shall file to
modify its current license, specifying the technical parameters in the
proposed host station's displacement application and request that its
displacement application be dismissed upon grant of the channel
sharing.
In the case of legal and engineering settlements, the parties
